Standard (EADGBE)

I feel like a spinning top or a Dreidel

The spinning don't stop when you leave the cradle

You just slow down

Round and around this world you go

Spinning through the lives of the people you know

We all slow down

How you gonna keep on turning from day to day?

How you gonna keep from turning your life away?

No days you can borrow, no time you can buy

No trust in tomorrow, it's a lie

I feel like a spinning top or a Dreidel

The spinning don't stop when you leave the cradle

You just slow down

Round and around this world you go

Spinning through the lives of the people you know

We all slow down

How you gonna keep on turning from day to day?

How you gonna keep from turning your life away?

And I feel like I'm dippin' and divin'

My sky shoes are spiked with lead heels

I'm lost in this star car am I drivin'

But my air sole keeps pushin' big wheels

My world is a constant confusion

My mind is prepared to attack

My past a persuasive illusion

I'm watchin' the future it's black

What do you know?

You know just what you perceive

What can you show?

Nothing of what you believe

And as you grow

Each thread of life that you leave

Will spin

Around your deeds and dictate your needs

As you sell your soul and you sow your seeds

And you wound yourself and your loved one bleed

And your habits grow, and your conscience feeds

On all that you thought you should be

I never thought this could happen to me

I feel like a spinning top or a Dreidel

The spinning don't stop when you leave the cradle

You just slow down

Round and around this world you go

Spinning through the lives of the people you know

We all slow down

How you gonna keep on turning from day to day?

How you gonna keep from turning your life away?

I feel like a spinning top or a Dreidel

The spinning don't stop when you leave the cradle

You just slow down

You just slow down

You just... slow... down...
